I am a full-time teacher and have been in the classroom for more than 7 years. I have taught various ages and subjects. I enjoy being able to work with kids who have previously struggled, and have been told to follow the steps being taught, but have never had the opportunity to understand why those steps matter or what they are really learning. As a kid, I struggled with math, and like many, followed the steps of fractions, equations and decimals, not knowing why any of these steps had to be done or why anyone though it made sense. As a teacher I see the difference that understanding foundational skills can make and how everything in math is interconnected. By learning these foundational skills, kids can unlock understanding about math that can help them through their entire life.
